In my present invention I make use of a spraying device having two deflecting or striking points-namely, first, the upper end of the reversible spindle l, and, secondly, the conical-shaped disk t', the latter bein g of great importance, for the reasonthat if the upper' end of the spindle Ishould be'worn out ot shape the secondary conical deilecting-disk t' Will break up the Water and form the desired umbrella-shaped nely-divided spray, which is afterward carried into the lower portion of the casing and ejected therefrom into the room or factory the air of which is to be moistened. y

The defiector l 1l may be reversed in position if its upper portion should become Worn, and by such'arrangement the liie of the spraying device is materially increased as compared with other devices for this purpose.

At the lower cud of the cylindrical casing F is arranged a drip-pan L, to which is connected a deliverypipe 7-as is colnln'on in devices of this kind. ifi-.ilove the drip-pan L is arranged the conica" v may-guide M for the purpose of properly guiding the moisture out through the exhaust-cpenings, as Will here.n inafter be described. I

To' the lowerl portion of the casing `F are connected four diametrically-arranged exhaust-chambers N N N N, having segmental vents n n n n., through which the moisture is discharged into the room or4 factory the air of which is to be humidified. Each of the four exhaust-chambers and vents are arranged at right angles to one another, and by such arrangement the humidifying device maybe placed above the junction of two right-angled passages leading between the looms or othery machines' in the factory that isF to be huinidiyfied, and by this arrangement the moisture is caused to be ejected in a line with such passages and prevented from directly striking the looms or other machinery located adjacent to such passages,

thus preventing injury to such machinery.

scenes.' y

The operation 'is as follows: The vvater that is ejected from the perforated spqayingmozzie4 H is forced za.,.,fains1j. the strikingpointl,

aswell-'i as against the upper surfaces of the `reversible conical disk 1l, causing the water to'be converted into a timely-distributed spray,

j which is forced against the interior of the casing F`andforced .downward through the latrter against the conical guide 1M' and out through the foursegmental openings ln n 'n.n in to the Aroom the air of which iste be moisranged .at right angles to eachother, a cyli'n-` drical shell, a spraying device secured to said shell, and a downwardly-extending tapering lt'er arrangedvthlliaid shell and columnn'icating interiorly with a water-suppl`y.

2. In ahurnidifying apparatus a spraying device, consisting of a perforated nozzle coinbined with a `post K, adjustable to and f rom said nozzle and provided at its upper end with a reversible -deiiector consisting of va spindle I, having arranged upon it aconical or-equivalent secondary dellector-disk substantially as and forthe purpose shown and described.

3. In a humidifying apparatus, a casingprovided'wth a series of exhaust-passages arranged at right angles to each other, a shell connected to said casing, a spraying device consisting of a nozzle'and reversible deflector, and a downwardlyfextending tapering lter arranged in said shell and comm unicatinginteriorly with a water-sulpply-.

In testimony whereof I have-hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witmesses.
